Free Marijuana Seed Exchanges Are Coming to DC

Marijuana may be legal in D.C., but the city still hasn’t figured out how to set up a legal framework for regulating sales. In fact, the D.C. Council even moved to explicitly ban so-called “cannabis clubs” that would allow businesses to host private groups who exchange or consume pot. Local activists believe they have found a way to open distribution channels, however, and they’re going to test it at a pair of free marijuana seed exchanges in March.

The first seed exchange will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. on March 26 at Libertine, and the D.C. Cannabis Campaign is urging urban farmers in the city to show up to pass out seeds. A second exchange will follow on March 28 at the campaign’s 2448 Massachusetts Ave. headquarters from 4:20 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Participants must be at least 21 years old and should expect to have their ID’s checked at the door.
